Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reform in Parliamentary Business Another mode of obtaining more time or improved quality of work was suggested by Mr. Disraeli, and recommended by the Com mittee of the House of Commons which sat in 1871 That it is desirable that Parliament should assemble at a period of the year not later than the last week in November. It was, of course, intended that, in such case, Parliament should be prorogued in June; and it was hoped that a great deal of non-contentious business might be initiated and considerably advanced before Christmas. It is certain that the adoption of a vigorous month's work in winter, instead of a month's lassitude in July, would produce vastly better results in legislation, to say nothing of the health of the workers; and, as was urged on the Committee by a great Conservative statesman, if any great public question required the attendance for a time of sporting county members, their patriotism would no doubt lead them to make the necessary sacrifice, and if not, well, I suppose, we should have to manage to get on without them. Some limit will probably have to be put on the power of moving adjournments, the most efficient engine of obstruction, and the one which has been most unscrupulously used.
